We in North America call the July full moon the Buck Moon, Hay Moon or Thunder Moon.

At this time of year, buck deer begin to grow velvety antlers. And farmers are loading hay in their barns, amid summer's frequent thunderstorms. In 2021, full moon falls on July 23-24. And on the nights of July 23 to 26, you can watch as this full, or nearly full, moon sweeps past our solar system's largest planets, Jupiter and Saturn. 🌕🌌
Find out how to see this cosmic trio the next few evenings:
